What are the Lost Arts?


MYSTERIOUS PROCESSES USED BY ANCIENT ARTISANS
IN THEIR WORK.
What are the lost arts? The New York Star says:
All we know OF them is by indications Of their
practice, which VIC find in works which have sur
vived decay. OF their number only a few can he
mentioned in our brief space.
The ancient Egyptians, Ph9nicians and Romans
had a knowledge of some things in chemistry
which We do not possess. Such as to make MALE
able glass. They also knew how 10 color and gild
glass by a process unknown to U.s. Bronze and
copper were tempered TO the hardness OF Steel and
OF this the Egyptians made their edged tools.
Paints were mixed whose colors were lmperish-
abe; at least they have existed fresh for 1000
years. At Damascus tn y made blades Of steel
which could be bent int o circle and would fly
back into perfect line. Neither this nor the gold
tracery in their steel can we Initiate to-day. We
do not know how King RanleSeS and ThotmeS
transported monoths and elevated them on to the
Pyramids, though we could do the same to-day by
other processes. Artisans and chemists have in
vain tried TO reproduce iridescent glass which
psychologists have brought to light This does not
complete the catalogue, but it is enough to show
that the ancients were by no means unskillrul.

SUPERSTITIONS ABOUT BIRDS.

In France the handsome white owl, with its
plumage, is accepted everywhere as forerunner
Of death As II that were not enough to draw

accused OF sacrilege, for in Provence and LanQue-

pie-in luck If 1t flies your left; IT, On the con-
trary, on the right, you may be assured that the
day will be fortunate one. In England the in
fuence OF the appearance OF this saucy bird upon
current event is governed by the numbers in which
he appears, and Is thus summed up:
One for sorrow,
Two for mirth;
Three for wedding;
-Four for birth.
Among the negroes of the Southern States the
moaning dove means to save a mans soul. To kill
one or these doves is sign Of DEATH but more fire.
quently the death OF a child. buZZard or a crow
upon the houSe-top Is believed by these people TO
be an invar1able sign OF death or disaster; a visit
